Four hearts fueled by a common desire. Four minds thinking individually and acting collectively. Four musicians harvesting emotions from their souls and pouring them out together to create a sky of sound for the listener to travel across, this is Glasshouse Owl (GHO). Just like their hometown of Chicago, GHO combines elements of blues, soul, and grunge to create an energetic style of rock.  When the world was thrown off its axis, this group of friends set out to create something lasting, to share stories through song in hopes to be a light in otherwise uncertain times. Composed of lead vocals/keys/rhythm guitarist Mike Bargas, lead guitarist Mike Desantis, bassist David Painter, and drummer Mike Pescetto, GHO is a band who hopes to fill its listeners with energy and emotion.  With dirty, distortion-filled guitars, vibrant keys, grooving bass lines, and melodic vocals with a growling delivery that could rise to a stunning bellow all over hard-hitting, pulsing percussions, GHO has created a style of rock that doesn’t check one box. Floating through a galaxy of genres, inspired by the sights and sounds, GHO is on a mission of musical exploration. An open invitation is issued to the listener. Ears up. Wings out. Onward.

With members across the state of Indiana, rock n roll band ‘Free Joel’ adds a breath of fresh air to the historic rock scene by utilizing heavy riffs, the blues, and psychedelic elements in their music. Further inspired by upbeat dance tunes from the seventies and onwards, ‘Free Joel’ explores everywhere between classic rock and blues to funky grooves that you can't help but dance and bob your head to. In 2023, the band compiled five original songs to release their first EP, titled "No Future.” One of the singles off the album, “I Wanna Keep It” continues to catch the interest of modern blues-rock listeners around the world after landing a spot on a Spotify-curated playlist.   Members Noah Martin (vocals, guitar), Jillian Burton (vocals, bass, keys), Kyle Krawczyk (drums), and Reid Webber (guitar) met in 2021 in their mid-size college town of Muncie, Indiana. More recently, the band has settled down in northwest Indiana and surrounding Chicagoland, where two of the members are from originally. Here, the group continues to grow as songwriters and entertainers.
